    The Audio Companion ($5.99, via Macaulay Library) will make the sonograms and song and call analysis “come to life” for readers. These audio files are organized and labeled to ensure seamless cross referencing from the text to your favorite mp3 player.

     

    The authors have also helpfully used sonograms for album art for individual sound files, so readers can more easily match the vocalization to the text.
